here, should know that.

Vic also wants a sailboat big enough to live aboard, yet
expects it to
draw less than 2 feet. It's possible that he could really
get by with
a boat that draws 4 feet. If he could be happy with a boat
that draws
4 feet, he might find a boat for 30k that fits his other
criteria.


I see, so when someone asks for ;

''I need = 2' draft, decent live aboard accommodation for
2,
no more than 30k ready-to-go.
No blue water or heavy weather sailing.
Used mostly for gunkholing West Florida and the Keys.

you would advise (not advice) them to buy a Hunter 50 ?
Maybe a Swan 70?
Or a 60' Prout?
